Interim delta 17.03.2T to 17.03.31T downloaded and applied. md5sum of generated iso correct. Thanks for the quick catch on the version number. I downloaded the delta to .2 and was pondering but went off to run the dog and presto...

Update of Grub4Dos frugal install of 17.03.21T went smoothly, glxgears FPS unchanged, sound and WPA2 connection fine. Posting from slimjet version 13.0.7.0 (based on Chromium 55.0.2883.75) rolled into an SFS.

Update: 17.03.31T with the 4.4.52 kernel is just fine on the Pentium M laptop. Update, boot, run, glxgears FPS, saves and shutdown all just fine.

17.03.31T to 17.03.32T update on frugal Grub4Dos install to SSD on the core 2 duo laptop uneventful. All checksums ok. Continuing to use as my daily alongside X-slacko Slim. Still wrangling with the toolbar fonts on slimjet. No matter what I do with the font setup on the LXDE derivs, the XFCE pups all give slightly bolder better defined fonts there. Just a personal nit, all else is great._________________Pups currently in kennel LxPupSc and X-slacko-4.4 for my users; LxPupSc, LxPupSc64, LxPupBionic, upupbb and upupcc for me.

Updated 32T to 33T on the core 2 duo and 31T to 33T on the Pentium M laptop (using the 4.4.52 kernel). Probably before your re-upload. Both went perfectly, sound, video, suspend, save perfect. I continue to use slimjet, OscarTalks 13.08.0 SFS now, and have figured out my font niggle. It's not XFCE vs LXDE but a fontconfig thng.

I installed and set up LxPupXenial-17.03.00 and the slimjet toolbar fonts were fine! Rooted around and swapped fonts in LxPupSC, no change (I'd done lots of that previously). Swapped /etc/fonts for the LxPupXenial one and the toolbar fonts improve to what they are in the X-pups and LxPupXenial-17.03.00. Lots of repeated swapping, X-restarts, reboots and squinting. It's real and reproducible. This is with the stock fonts, theme, and /~/.gtkrc-2.0 etc. Finally set up named stock and Xenial /etc/fonts dirs so I could just move the contents in and out of /etc/fonts and open slimjet. No X-restart required, it follows that configuration.

Now I think the LxPupSc-slimjet combo will pass muster on the farm BayTrail box and I can get slimboat off of it!

Up and running LxPupSc-17.04.1T on both core 2 duo laptops after a brief 'shot myself in the foot' spell with a leftover high compression fdrv or bad zdrv from a test iso Both pristine boot and updates from 17.03.33T boot and run well, and my slimjet toolbar fonts pass my squinty eye test as well. glxgears FPS at 1780+ is extremely good for these laptops. I'll give the Pentium Ms and BayTrails a go later today. So far, great.

Edit: Installed Grub4Dos frugal on both the Pentium M laptop (using the 4.4.52 kernel) and on the BayTrail desktop. Both boot and run just fine and have the expected glxgears FPS for the respective hardware. Set up the BayTrail box as a samba shares and print server with scan capability for the old USB connected Epson CX_5400 with no hitches.

[LATER] Just had a look at Thunderbird-52 downloaded from Mozilla and interestingly(!?) it doesn't need pulseaudio/apulse to run - but does need GTK3.....maybe the Slackware version will be GTK2 friendly.....

Why is anyone still using Thunderbird?! It's the first thing I remove from new installations having Firefox. Sypheed looks and feels much the same without the bloat & trappings, but CLAWS is the one serious users of email choose. Notwithstanding, Puppy users may have the option of an Eudora .pet conversion in some incarnations, probably the best emailer ever devised, even though it was US-only terminology.

Following my 17.01.26 & now new 17.04.1,
same unresolved issue;
pmcputemp installed from PPM only shows core temperature
in system tray when initialised in terminal, but disappears again
when terminal is closed.
Shouldn't it work dynamically to "stick" after re-boot?
Regards.

Hi RB

That pet does not seem to install itself into either /root/Startup or /root/.config/autostart ..... which does seem strange!
